[AMC-List] 4 on the tree

[<francis.swygert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A friend of mine still has a 61 Mercedes with four on the tree. It's
just like a four on the floor, only sideways! Reverse is toward the dash
and down so you don't try to shift into fifth, IIRC. First is pluu
toward wheel and up, second down, then no pressure on stalk and up is
third, down fourth. You have to push toward the dash to get reverse.

Back in the 70's when I was 16, I drove a Mercedes
taxi for awhile that had a four on the tree shifter.
The body style was one of those ones with the small
fins like a '59 Rambler Ambassador. I don't remember
how reverse was set up on that car.
